MtD on Colts Day 1

From Mockingthedraft.com
• A team that had a great draft was Indianapolis. While a receiver wasn't added, Donald Brown is now the team's best running back. Fili Moala gives them a difference maker in the middle.

My take.

Really? Donald Brown now the teams best running back? I know that alot of people here at stampedeblue argue endlessly about Addai and I'm here to start another one.

Addai is proven in this league already! He has been to a pro bowl and won a superbowl.

People look towards last season and say well "he sucked". The entire run game sucked! An o-line filled with rookies and depleted by injuries notably Jeff Saturday will surely make running the ball a chore no one could handle. While Addai did indeed have an off year last year, I fully expect him to be back to his regular self this year.

Donald Brown may prove to be the best running back EVER, but he may also prove to be a BUST (hope not). Joe Addai > Donald Brown until proven otherwise.

here's the day 2 comments

Indianapolis hit with Austin Collie in round four. Other than that, Terrance Taylor at defensive tackle, cornerback Jerraud Powers and quarterback Curtis Painter are just decent selections.

Calling TT

a decent pick at the end of the fourth it just retarded, sorry. Great value. I think the jury is out on Jerraud Powers, and I can’t really get a fic on how I feel about Painter.

Painter

Showed promise as a junior. Who better to smooth out and coach up a green QB than Peyton Manning?

I think I agree with you

I was a proponent of drafting an RB early to throw into the mix, but I think Addai is still the #1 guy until further notice. I think he will be the primary 3rd down back and will get 50-60% of the 1st and 2nd down snaps.
I’m just happy they addressed the running game with a good complimentary back.
